i know AI art generally sucks but increased copyright laws are bad and will only make things worse. it's distressing how many people think copyright will protect them and not the giant corporations these laws are actually for
i don't want stronger copyright i just don't want a double standard. if your whole damn industry wants to get free art out of a machine oiled with the blood of a billion humans, you don't get to also claim that your work is super duper special and no one else can remix it
agreed! but industries already bleed artists dry and claim special ownership of their work. abolishing copyright will prevent them from being able to do this, with or without AI being involved
copyright that is as strong as it is now is a problem for artists. copyright law runs intrinsically counter to how art works, how people make art, how art inspires artists. copyright has not protected us so far, it will continue to not protect us while the laws are kept or strengthened to deal with the other threat of AI. copyright is killing the internet archive and attacking libraries. "intellectual property" is a farce that has benefited the rich and only the rich. it must be destroyed.
